Just a theory. Indra/Asura Naruto/Sasuke...

[Dropgun]

I've just been thinking and even I personally think it's a long-shot... But I believe it's slightly plausible and the smartest people on about some Naruto reside here so I might as well present it.

For starters, we know that Naruto and Sasuke's power-ups most recently were the Six Paths Sage Mode (Deriving from the Six Paths Sage Technique, basically same thing) and the Rinnegan, respectively. We know that Indra DID NOT get the Rinnegan, rather the Sharingan and MS along with it, now his MS was in likely no need of EMS to prevent blindness hence he was the only one wielding said eyes. I'm not sure if this has been established but it's just what I think. As for Asura we know he had a battle avatar and chakra cloak similar to that of Naruto's in KCM/BM. It's also obvious that Hagoromo gave him Yin-Yang release BUT I don't think he was wielding Truth Seeking Balls but rather Bijuudamas, just an opinion. Since Indra didn't get the Rinnegan, Asura probably didn't get the Six Paths Sage Technique, instead he had a form similar to that of BM Naruto. We just don't know what or who his tailed beast was, and he may have possibly been a sage as well. In conclusion Indra EMS + Asura DNA = Rinnegan. Asura SM/BM + Indra DNA = Six Paths Sage Mode.

Now just to quickly clarify the Six Path Sage Technique requires two things. Senjutsu AND tailed beast chakra used in conjunction. Personally, it may only be possible to use this form with either chakra from ALL tailed beasts like Naruto, or the Ten Tails, like Madara. Kurama may suffice as we've seen Kurama to be very important in the midst of everything involving Hagoromo. Obito wasn't a Sage naturally and when he became the Ten Tails Jinchuuriki, it may have been a partially incomplete form of rikudo mode as we see Madara's who is much stronger with a partial chakra cloak.. Also note Madara had Hashirama's Sage Mode BEFORE becoming the juubi-jin, which to me makes complete sense as to why he had a perfect Rikudo Mode + Rinnegan.

Another point at hand, some people say Naruto can get the Rinnegan if he had Sasuke's DNA/Chakra... Well, not likely. Much like the two things you need to have to have access to the Six Paths Sage Technique, you need the Sharingan, MS and eventually EMS to awaken the Rinnegan. Of course the eyes can be implanted as shown with Nagato and if Naruto did get Sasuke's DNA, he'd surely would've unlocked instead Rikudo Mode over time, like Madara with the Rinnegan... IF Naruto got the DNA which knowing Naruto, that'd never happen.

Two reasons why Hashirama didn't have the Six Paths Sage Technique, was the fact that for one he didn't have Madara's DNA, and two he wasn't a jinchuuriki. Maybe the Rinnegans counterpart is the Six Paths Sage Technique. I mean Sasuke obviously has the former opposed to the latter. And when you put both together you're basically Hagoromo, just look at Madara.

For one this proves that OP Sasuke/Naruto was slightly above Indra/Asura, solely because of the fact they had something the latter two didn't, the Rinnegan and Six Paths Sage Mode, but I don't think the gap is huge. I don't know if I'd even be close to being right, but the equivalent to the Rinnegan is Rikudo Mode. It makes sense. Remember, Indra got the eyes and powerful chakra, Asura got the body and massive chakra reserves. Sasuke got the Rinnegan eye, and Naruto got the actual PHYSICAL power up with the huge increase of stamina via chakra.

If you read, thank you. I just want to know if it's possible, in no way am I a genius with this. I just got to thinking is all.~ ^^

Can you sum it up in a last sentence?

Indeed ashura's avatar resembles Naruto's BM, but that alone doesn't mean he was a jinchuriki or even a pseudo jinchuriki for that matter. First of all as I have shown before Hogoromo and hamura had TSB before hogoromo became a jinchuriki, there fore he inherited it from his mother, the same can be said for ashura's power. It is possible for it to resemble a bijuu because his father was the jinchuriki of his grandmother. So it is logical for him to posses tailed beast like chakra. Indra is the same, we know hogoromo only had the rinnegan and kaguya had the rinne sharingan. The rinne sharingan is the originator of both the rinnegan and sharingan. It is possible that Indra gained the sharingan from the chakra that his grandmother had while sealed inside his father before his birth.

The gap between sasuke and naruto and ashura and indra is large. Ashura and indra were probably at best only slightly stronger than hashirama and madara.

I can see where you're coming from, though I didn't know Hamura had TSB... I didn't see them with him? Maybe I didn't pay attention. But there is no doubt Asura has to have something allowing him to use that avatar and if they are TSB, the TSB is still a tailed beast skill so where's the tailed beast? Pseudo Jins cannot use BM, for there is no actual beast within them. Of course the Rinne Sharingan begat the TRUE form of the Rinnegan, and eventually the Sharingan, I agree with that. Indra got the ocular prowess as Asura got the physical prowess.

I can't help but wonder, Hagoromo wielded TSB, yes. Asura I don't think he did. Still he was the son of the first Jnichuuriki so maybe as a Pseudo Jinchuuriki he manifested his own avatar? It may count.

I still don't think Asura and Indra are far off from Sasuke and Naruto... What you're saying is SM Hashirama and EMS Madara >>> The sons of the sage of six paths... Which if you think about it, the sons would RAVAGE, hashi and mada... Chakra was split too many times throughout their death for the reincarnations to come close. Only Sasuke and Naruto passed them up.
